    How many choices ?

    Keno, when you switch to 3, are you just getting rid of the bottom one, or are you also redesigning them? Just curious because I’ve seen some operators just dump the economy/wet wash and not have that option any more.

    New

    That is much less than what you will need. One touchless machine alone- no building - will run you in the neighborhood of $200,000.

    High Volume Site worth Adding Membership?

    I’d be very hesitant if you are already high volume. I have a conveyorized wash that washes a lot of cars and I have not gone to the membership model. You can’t project what the memberships will necessarily do, but it seems to me that it is more of a tool to build up customers in a new or...

    5 brush units

    I like the openness of the freestyler and the overhead track. Also like the standard side blasters and the taller front arms. Soft glosses have been around forever and are pretty much indestructible. Get it with high pressure and no wheel brushes. If you get one. Oasis looks awesome...

    Tire size affecting vehicle speed

    Never liked front wheel pull that relied on a catch up behind the rear wheel. If there is a front wheel pull installation, it should have enough conveyor length at the exit to fully get the car out of the wash and then a sign for the driver to “go”. I have only seen front wheel pulls...

    Thinking about building a express style tunnel 75 feet with touch free

    “express style tunnel with touchfree”. Do you mean a conveyorized touch free tunnel?

    Slow…

    Winter is my busy time. Business triples and quadruples for me. We have snow, salt and temps so low that people have to bring their car to a car wash. Every region has their up and down times, you have to look at what you do year over year. There will be bad “good months” and good “bad...

    Thank You Gifts To Customers

    I would think 1, 3 and 5 year memberships would constitute very different gifts. If you can on the 5 year, one month half price on their current membership plan might be nice. Maybe similar for the three year memberships, but less of a discount. I think it’s nice to reward the actual...

    Wow - cool upgrade. Thanks!

    Self Serve Wash for sell across from my existing business.

    Also consider what you could do with that additional lot - an IBA or two might justify the purchase of the price is right and your town can support it.

    is drying agent needed?

    Not necessary at all when using rain repel, hot wax, ceramic or graphene products.

    Separate Bay for dryers?

    If you really need to push cars more quickly through your automatics, the most logical thing to do would be to convert 1 ss bay to another IBA. Turn your 4/2 into a 3/3.

    Presoak

    You’d be better off using a high pressure soap that has some alkalinity. Presoaks are designed to be applied at a low pressure and higher concentration. Applying at high pressure will either cause you to go through your chemical very quickly or you will dilute it to the point where it is not...

    Tunnel Wash Competition

    Seems like it would be difficult to battle a tunnel with a friction IBA. I’m assuming.

    Crazy find

    You just never know what people are going to vacuum when they are at the wash.
